      Pros

      Brother/sisterhood. You really develop a close tie to your workplace, everyone ends up being your family. The people are awesome. The Job is exciting and fun.

      Cons

      Deployments are every few years and last a year. They can be tedious and dangerous. You do not get a choice of who you work with. The pay is decent but could be much better. You can not ask for a raise.

      Pros

      Steady pay, insurance, college benefits, paid training, retirement.

      Cons

      Very political at upper echelons. Incompetency seems to run rampant through much of the senior leadership. The Guard still runs on good ol' boy mentality. Knowing the right people allows some folks to get away with things that would get you court-martialed in the Regular Army.

      A tour at the Guard Bureau is challenging, eye opening, and highly rewarding... if you can deal with bureaucracy.

      Pros

      Wide variety of missions, strong career growth opportunities, culture of mentorship, work/life balance, great pay and benefits, opportunities for travel.

      Cons

      Bureaucratic systems can be frustrating, headquartered in the suburbs of VA not near METRO, potential to find yourself professionally pigeonholed.
